Whichever Democrat campaigns in 2026/8 on bulldozing the supreme court has my vote
#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms.

The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent.

I'll post the ruling shortly.

Y’all talked too much about the TN-7 race, turned it high salience, juiced turnout, and wrecked Dems’ chances of sneaking in a win.

Eerie, unfocused Vought in the background shot
Yet again, Trump and Rollins are illegally threatening to withhold federal dollars. SNAP has one of the lowest fraud rates of any government program, but Trump continues to weaponize hunger.

America is extraordinarily radical in that there are tons of different ethnic groups here, and we not only generally get along with each other, but the law treats us all equal equally, and we all do the same shit like eat fried butter.

What MAGA dares to ask is: what if we didn’t
Anyway the best I've ever felt about America was me (Jewish) standing in line with my friend and her daughter (Irish and Latina) to pet a baby lamb at the Minnesota State Fair alongside a hijabi Black woman and her daughter, an East Asian family, an African-American family, and some white people.

the problem is not that "Ed Markey is old as shit and Pressley would be better" it's "Ed Markey is old as shit and could very well lose a primary to the party's leading transphobe"

You don't need to watch the clip. It's odious. I just want to observe that the right has selected for people who try to win arguments based on tone, emotion, and short circuiting topics as soon as they become inconvenient. The conversation style uses dishonesty and distraction as primary tool.

The best way to understand what the modern Republican party is doing is gleeful civic blasphemy.
"Western civilization," the font, the 11 stars - 11 states in the confederacy, for the record.

Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

Right, the answer to the question “can the president issue a valid pardon for the assassins he sent to successfully kill the Congress that was impeaching him” has to be no or the underlying structure of the Constitution makes no sense
i think that we should charge even people who have been pardoned, because there is no conceivable way the founders intended the pardon power to permit the executive to order people to commit crimes and then pardon them for them

trump will pardon or assist any head of state who has been convicted for crimes. acting out of self preservation, basically
WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

Point is that transphobia and anti-Arab bigotry, both incredibly popular among liberal elites, are at odds with liberal principles and corrode a liberal's capacity to enforce their value set vis a vis policy and behavior.
Let’s blame rank transphobia on the real culprit: liberalism
there are a lot of brain-rotting ideologies that can twist a liberal without moral guide-lines into a vicious, miserable reactionary but transphobia and zionism really are something else in the social media age
